1997 Magarey Medallist

After the club’s darkest period through the early to mid 90’s there was a shining light in 1997 when bullocking and fearless centreman Brodie Atkinson won the medal.

Atkinson played 124 games and kicked 131 goals for Sturt between 1996 and 2002, he won the best and fairest in 1997, played in the 2002 premiership, played in numerous State games, including being named captain in 1998 and was also runner up in the Magarey Medal in 1992 and 1994.
